I am looking for a long term relationship, but it has to evolve one step at a time. I love to ask questions, listen, learn, laugh, and I also like to talk. Be forewarned! Good conversation is key! A passionate desire to live and learn draws me like a magnet. I can hardly wait to hear all about it. I look forward to getting to know you. I am an idealist and altruist, but also practical and fair. I expect the best of myself, so good character and integrity are imperative in both of us to develop the trust and commitment that makes a good foundation upon which to build a healthy relationship. You've got to be able to walk your talk. I try my best to do the same.
I long to be woo'd, courted, romanced, respected and appreciated. That motivates me to return the sentiments, giving back all I can in return. I don't want prince charming, because I don't need to be rescued. I do love to be appreciated, respected and loved.
I am very greatly blessed in many ways. Life has introduced me to some incredible experiences and some fascinating people. I have a few stories to tell, but generally live a simple life, myself. I'm not typical or predictable for a single woman of fifty-one years. I'm no cougar either. LOL I have been focussing on my spiritual growth for many years, and am just recently dating again.
If there's no connection, I won't waste anybody's time. If it grows into a long term relationship, great. If you are The One...lucky me!
My taste in music? I like music, but don't know it well. I have musical friends and a definite interest, yet I haven't invested in good equipment or a wide collection of my own. I listen to FM radio most of the time. Passe? Sorry. I don't like ear pieces, so the I haven't got an iPod or MP3 player. I enjoy natural sounds when I hike or exercise. Have you heard the new FM station TheSoundLA? I like it, classic rock, jazz fusian, latin jazz, new age, classical, old pop classics, country occasionally, and more...and silence! I just can't stomach hip hop, rap, dark music (like M. Manson), heavy metal or angry young man music.

The perfect first date could be just about anything! It's your opportunity to shine and show me your passion for life and your good character, as well as a chance for us to feel the chemistry (if any) when our energy collides in the same space. It can be just a meeting at a park or the beach or a coffee house to talk. It could be something more formal and traditional like dinner or a museum tour, or something crazy and different would be fun too. The key to a good first date is a chance to talk, get know each other better and share time and experiences together. Tone of voice, facial expression, real time communication, body language and good old fashioned vibe can't be communicated over the web. Is our first date just a quick meet up to feel that vibe before investing time with words here or on the phone? Or is it a chance to see whether we've colored in the spaces between the lines of text correctly? Do you enjoy the flirtation and public romance of the dating process as much as I? Do you enjoy investing in dating? Or do you just want to keep it simple at the start, checking "us" out before deciding whether or not you're interested in dipping more than a toe in the water? It's up to you. I follow your lead. You're The Man, and I'm old fashioned that way. That's one thing I've learned since coming online to internet dating last May.
The first date could start the relationship process...or let us know that "we" just aren't meant to be. We'll see. Then the second date..............mmmmmm. :) Think there might be a second date too?
